This is the last of the league games on a double-header Sunday and could anyone had believed at the outset that this will be a dead-rubber considering the big names in Royal Challengers Bangalore. Their pathetic show this season highlights that cricket is and has always been a team game and for a team to win it has to be a combined show. Delhi Daredevils on the other hand tried their level best even after they lost the big names.

Today both the teams have nothing to lose and hence the expectation would be there that they would play fearless cricket and give the fans a chance to have a great outing at the Frerozshah Kotla ground. Royal Challengers have an emphatic 12-6 record over Daredevils. But, we will surely not get fooled by that considering it is the IPL and anything can happen.

AB de Villiers would be missing as he is on national duty but will that affect them considering he has not had the best of tournaments, looks to be seen. Instead, an Indian rookie should get a chance to use this match to create something. The match starts at 2000 hrs and stay tuned to inUth.com for the fastest updates on the match.

Delhi Daredevils: 1 Sanju Samson, 2 Karun Nair, 3 Shreyas Iyer, 4 Rishabh Pant (wk), 5 Marlon Samuels, 6 Corey Anderson, 7 Pat Cummins, 8 Amit Mishra, 9 Zaheer Khan (capt), 10 Shahbaz Nadeem, 11 Mohammed Shami
